(16,113 posts)FAMOUS white people appropriating their culture? Your whole first paragraph makes a far better case for what I'M saying than for what YOU'VE been saying. People are clearly pissed when money is being made on it, far less pissed (or at least far less vocal) when they are not.
I'm not arguing that Iggy has some superior talent, that she's "earned" her success through hard work or ability or EVEN that her race isn't a significant factor in her success. I am saying that I hear almost no issues with white hip hop FANS "appropriating the culture" when they're buying the clothing or music or concert tickets, or even using much of the slang as opposed to the examples you cited in your post where it's always been an issue with white artists trying to SELL tickets, music or clothing.
Thank you for doing a very good job of making my point.
